:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

34 points 12 assits. 9-15 from 3.

[KungFuJoe]

Yeah, but 8 TOs.

Lin is my favorite player but those TOs were costly. I'm not gonna blame him completely as McFail ran him into the ground, but still...he's gotta know when he's tired and not try to force things. He had a bunch of TOs trying to create something off the dribble.

Lin or Isaac Newton? Who has been more influential in human history?

Lin and it's not close.

Kid is a liability on defense and turns it over way too much.

I agree he's still reckless, but I think it's part due to him attacking the rim so much.

Tonight, his minutes were managed badly. He played 50 minutes (most of his TOs came in the 4th when he was visibly gassed) and Brooks only played FOUR minutes.

31 then 34 linsanity is back!

Lin played 50 out of 54 minutes? WTF are they trying to do to him? It's early season. And they play tomorrow....

McFail's genius at work.

Brooks played all of 4 minutes tonight.

Hell...Asik only played 4 minutes.

I think he was trying to be unselfish too much when he should've just taken the shot, I guess that's what he needs to work on.

As for defense, he's been very solid so far outside of today...bad matchup with Anderson's length and needing to carry the offensive load.

No Harden and McHale inexplicably played a very short lineup.

Haters be like "he missed 6 shots"

That's a good way to blow out a knee, playing in 50 minutes night one of a back to back. Good for the Knicks that McHale is so lost.

And that's how lin injured his knee while with the Knicks. D'antoni doesn't manage substitutions well at all.

Well...to be fair, the Knicks were depleted during Linsanity...I mean, they were THIS close to getting one of their towel boys to suit up.

They played him too many minutes, plus this was during the period the NBA was allowing people to hit him with flying elbows whcih certainly did not help. His frame isn't big enough to play that many minutes often.

he's one of the biggest point guards out there
6'3 200+ lbs

He's not built as powerful as some of these other guards, he doesn't have the muscle tone. Plus he doesn't stay on the perimeter, he goes into the lane. I'm not saying he's goign to get hurt with normal play, but 50 minutes is begging for an injury.

6'3 with shoes I bet. And 200 lbs? If lin weighs that much then Russell Westbrook weighs 215.

Height and weight (even birth date herro Yi Jianlan and yo wazzup shabazz) are adjusted to benefit the player's chances of getting recruited and drafted.

Lin is bigger than Westbrook. Lin is legit 6ft 3.
